Now the question is, what's creating that error? The blackberry web-site, the BES that they use to browse the internet through, or the 8100 device themselves?

Any help on this matter would be appreciated, even if its only to point me in roughly the right direction! I've seen service books mentioned as well as OTA installations via the bes??? (I've searched lots but not found anything that matches my issue!)

This is using Vodafone UK as the provider btw .

----------------------

On a separate note (I've not searched as I've just thought about it while typing this! - if its easy fix ignore me and I'll find it in a search!), what Java software version should we be running on our BES, originally it was installed for us and Java 1.4.2_08 was installed.

We've updated the Java to the latest version (1.6.0.20), which appeared to do no damage, however when we upgraded to the latest service pack (8??) the BES no longer worked. The fix was to go back to point the blackberry mobile data service back to the original Java install

1) First thing you should do is disable the devil-spawn updater that is a part of the Java install. It only does bad things and never does good; never, ever.

2) The error 500 is what your BES is returning if you're using the MDS / BlackBerry Browser. What happens if you try your carrier / Internet Browser on the HH?

The vodafone live browser gives me an active x error same as if you visited the site in firefox from your pc. As does the opera mini browser.

Can you load up that page with IE on the BES itself? It should give you a lame notice about you can't get the install from here; but regardless it should load.

Yep, page loads fine, but tells me i should use mobile device for that page.

Thanks for your help, sorry for the delay responding, i'd planned to have enough time to work on this before i went off to get married, but then all hell broke out at work and i had to put this on the back burner... however i'm back now and would love to get this working!

I am aslo on Vodafone UK and managed to get a US BB which has MSN installed already. When I open MSN it tells me that handheld does not have the required sevice books and asks me to visit the blackberry.com/livemessenger website. But the link does not help either
Anyone know how to fix this? Please let me know what to do...
